To management: I didn't think I would need to explain this but leaving a crap taste in a potential customer's mouth before they even have a chance to try your product/service is just bad for business. Especially when you're dealing with children. We will be choosing a different Dojo that's more parent friendly, there's 4 others in the area. Pathetic

Every day when I pick him up, he asks if he can stay longer and even wants to come on the weekends. As a parent, that excitement gives us so much peace of mind knowing he's happy and in great hands. We love that this isn't a typical after school program. He's not only learning karate, but they also make sure homework gets done. We were honestly shocked when he asked to stay longer just to finish his homework, which says a lot about the positive environment they've created. The staff are very kind, attentive, and supportive. We're so grateful we found this program and highly recommend it to other parents.

I had never done anything of this sort before and was a bit nervous when starting out. However, the more I went the more comfortable and confident I felt. They have a nice family setting and are very friendly. They do the steps along with you and are there for when you get hung up on a movement. Very traditional as well. Not only do they teach you traditional karate, but they also teach the culture, the meaning behind the techniques, and how you can apply it to real-life self defense. Compassionate and full of love for their students, they are willing to listen, help, and work around any concerns or problems you may have. I fully recommend checking the dojo out.

It seems like a "pay for belt McDojo." It isn't. It's a learning experience for your kid. If you want it to be, it's a learning experience for you, too. Tying a new belt around my nine year old daughter's waist is amazing. I'm so proud of my kid. -Dad

He also gives them a solid workout and doesn't just have them punching and kicking in the air.

Karate rx balances this perfectly and my children LOVE going to class here. If you're looking for a karate school LOOK NO FURTHER. It's all positivity here and tons of results.
